TEWKSBURY — Two men were arrested and charged with breaking and entering and other crimes after Tewksbury Police responded to a reported burglary at a local liquor store, officials said Thursday.
Miguel Gomes, 21, of Kingston, and Aiden Holgun, 18, of Lynn, were taken into custody following the incident at Smitty’s Liquor, 1091 Main St., late Wednesday night.
According to Chief Ryan Columbus, police arrived at the scene around 11:21 p.m., Sept. 11, after receiving reports of individuals smashing the front door of the establishment.
